DrugBank Accession Number

Background

Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) is a rare blood clotting disorder characterized by thrombocytopenia, microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, and various degrees of organ damage.2 It may be inherited (congenital TTP; cTTP) or acquired due to autoantibodies (immune-mediated TTP; iTTP), although cTTP accounts for <5% of all cases of TTP.2 Patients with cTTP have a severe deficiency of a plasma metalloproteinase called ADAMTS13 (a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with a thrombospondin type 1 motif, member 13), which is responsible for cleaving large von Willebrand factor multimers and preventing the formation of microthrombi - this deficiency in ADAMTS13 is responsible for the microangiopathic complications associated with cTTP.2 Standard therapy for cTTP involves prophylactic plasma infusions to supplement insufficient ADAMTS13 plasma levels.1

Apadamtase alfa, sold under the brand name Adzynma (ADAMTS13, recombinant-krhn), was approved by the FDA in November 2023 for use as an enzyme replacement therapy in patients with cTTP.4

Pharmacodynamics

A plasma ADAMTS13 activity of less than 10 IU/dL (often referred to as 10% of normal ADAMTS13 activity) is a hallmark of cTTP.2 Following the intravenous administration of 40 IU/kg of rADAMTS13, the mean duration of time for which ADAMTS13 activity remained above 10% was 5.3 days.3 Surrogate measures of von Willebrand factor platelet binding activity showed transient decreases of 15-25% from baseline for 1 or 2 days following intravenous administration.3

Mechanism of action

Congenital thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (cTTP) can be caused by a severe deficiency of plasma ADAMTS13 (a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with a thrombospondin type 1 motif, member 13).2 ADAMTS13 is a plasma zinc metalloprotease that regulates the activity of von Willebrand factor (VWF) by cleaving large and ultra-large VWF multimers to smaller units, reducing the platelet binding properties of VWF and its subsequent formation of microthrombi.3

Adzynma (ADAMTS13, recombinant-krhn) is a recombinant form of endogenous ADAMTS13. It is used as an enzyme replacement therapy in patients with cTTP and serves to partially restore ADAMTS13 activity in order to prevent thromboses.3

Absorption

The average (Cave) and maximum (Cmax) serum concentrations of rADAMTS13 following intravenous administration of 40 IU/kg were 0.30 IU/mL and 1.15 IU/mL, respectively.3 The AUC0-inf and AUC0-168h were 57.6 IU.h/mL and 57.2 IU.h/mL, respectively.3

Half-life

Curator comments
Recombinant ADAMTS13 is a plasma zinc metalloprotease that regulates the activity of von Willebrand factor (VWF) by cleaving large and ultra-large VWF multimers to smaller units.
General Function
Important in the maintenance of hemostasis, it promotes adhesion of platelets to the sites of vascular injury by forming a molecular bridge between sub-endothelial collagen matrix and platelet-surface receptor complex GPIb-IX-V. Also acts as a chaperone for coagulation factor VIII, delivering it to the site of injury, stabilizing its heterodimeric structure and protecting it from premature clearance from plasma
